Jump Starting
When jump-starting a vehicle using a booster battery, observe the following precautions: 1. Make sure the booster battery is 12 volt. The booster battery and the discharged one in the vehicle should not differ much in capacitance. 2. The leads of sufficient cross-section should be used to connect the booster battery (at least 16 mm2). Connect the leads in the following order: first, connect one end of the jump lead to the positive terminal of the discharged battery A, then the other end of the lead to the positive terminal of the booster battery B (Fig. 24). After that, connect one end of the second jump lead to the negative terminal of the booster battery and the other end of the lead to a good earthing

for the ignition system specified in the service manual. For the same reason, never start the engine by towing. Try to avoid parking the vehicle on dry grass or other flammable materials (cleaning cloths, wooden chips, etc.) which may present a fire hazard if the catalyst is at its working temperature. At an engine with fuel injection system the ECM activates the fuel pump for 2 seconds at ignition switch-on.
